Uncolored pictorial map of Yosemite Valley, folded in mailing envelope 21x28.5, with title: "A Jo Mora map of Yosemite. Jo Mora, Carmel Cal." Map shows many humorous scenes and the activities common at the time in the Valley. Many landmarks are shown in an amusing way with annotation. For example, a cloud resting on an easy chair, a bishop is straddling the Cathedral Spires, Sentinel Hotel, Zoo, and old Big Oak Flat Road. Includes vignette illustrations in the border of Scenes and activities. Artist Joseph "Jo" Jacinto Mora was born in Uruguay in 1876 and became an illustrator after moving to the Untied States in the early 1900s.
